Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler latest betting odds
If we look at the odds, it is clear to see that not fighting in the UFC for over a year has not affected McGregor’s stock. Many expected Chandler to be a clear favorite, according to the bookmakers. However, both McGregor and Chandler are both -110 for their potential bout. However, a lot can change from now until then.
In terms of the possible locations, Dana White revealed some surprising potential locations for the McGregor vs Chandler fight. White included Madison Square Garden, Las Vegas, or T-Mobile Arena for the fight. However, Las Vegas might be the most likely considering the TUF 31 filming will also happen in Las Vegas.
Will Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler fight at welterweight?
In his most recent call-out of McGregor, Chandler said he wanted the Irishman at his biggest and his strongest and promised to make the fight at 170. Moreover, McGregor has bulked up drastically since his horrific leg break.
Therefore, it makes sense that the fight will happen as a welterweight contest and not at lightweight. However, as we have seen in the past, things can change very quickly. Despite the odds and the possible locations, fans will still hold their breath when it comes to this fight.
